After a series of events, governments began to tacitly study the legends of the Saint-Idan religion.

The common phenomenon is that he has developed a strong interest in some ancient Vatican objects.

It is believed that among some ancient Vatican items, there is a rare part of them, and items associated with the legendary background have special abilities.

These special items are as powerful as the holy objects recognized by the Holy See, but they also have special and mysterious functions.

Maybe after collecting it, some special data can be obtained through modern and precise research, and when the Year of the Apocalypse arrives, it can help the country support it for a period of time.

Some scholars have proposed a theory that such extraordinary objects with special characteristics have both positive and negative sides, just like holy objects and evil objects are opposites.

Most extraordinary religious items are not dangerous, but some cursed items need to be handled with caution.

The Pope two hundred years ago blocked the Holy Road.

This also causes most religious objects with divine characteristics to lose this characteristic, but their characteristics will be restored after the Holy Road is reopened.

Even in theory, such objects with extraordinary characteristics can produce a divine energy.

Although the current pope, Shufien Ballymuir has not yet opened the Holy Road.

But perhaps the study of this sacred energy can allow government researchers to have a glimpse into the world.

So in recent times, the government has arranged personnel to target some abandoned religious buildings, such as some abandoned churches, or abandoned religious sanatoriums, monasteries, etc.

These people were like locusts, plundering them in various abandoned religious buildings...

After they left, only empty cement shells remained in the entire building... Some people even had to remove the wooden doors...

Even some rich people became obsessed with ancient religious objects... and they didn't spend a lot of money to buy from various channels.

They believe that some religious objects with special characteristics can provide certain protection when the Year of the Apocalypse arrives.

After Pope Shufien opens the holy road, if the antiques in his hand can stimulate the original sacred characteristics, their value will undoubtedly increase dozens of times.

Under this religious craze, even ordinary people joined the ranks of plundering abandoned religious buildings and competed with the government's personnel.

Of course, if discovered by the government, the collected things will be confiscated.

And they will be labeled as stealing state property... It seems that with a big stroke of the pen, everything in the abandoned houses became owned by the state.

But he did not consider the opinions of the church... After all, it was established and stopped using the church, and it would become the government when it would be.

Some people voluntarily began to resist their robbery behavior, and even shouted the slogan "stealing the property of the Holy Lord."

But to be honest, the ones that store the most ancient religious items must of course be some of the local ancient churches, churches and monasteries.

Under this wave of fanaticism, churches in various regions were worried whether these crazy guys would break in and grab the church.

But obviously, no one dares to do this, robbing the church will go to hell.

I used to not believe in the existence of hell, but now the facts are right in front of me, and no one dares to do this.

"Did those guys... go through the here?"

The two young people spent a morning and then walked out dejectedly. Perhaps after the government searched, some other fanatical people followed him to search.

Anyway, it was a bit late for them to take action after a week.

When the meat and bones were eaten, they didn't even leave a drop of broth.

"What a bad luck!"

After the other person walked out, he kicked the grass beside him with a fierce kick.

Then his face turned pale.

He bent down and covered his feet. The severe pain made him speechless for a short time. The pain had filled all his nerve transmission.

"What's going on?" After his companion opened the grass, he found a stone that was erected on the ground.

Obviously, his companion just kicked the stone.

"I want to say you deserve it. When you kick it next time, you should take a look at what's in the grass!" He wanted to laugh, but then couldn't laugh anymore. He looked at the stone in the grass himself. To be precise, it was not an ordinary stone.

It was like a stone statue buried deep under the ground, and a small part was exposed on the surface of the land.

That small part is like a part of some kind of wing protruding.

It is not the feather wings of the angel statue, but the film wings of the bat.

Or like a kind of demon...

"There is something underneath... You see, the exposed part should be a stone statue!"

"Stone statue?"

"Yes... maybe we have forgotten the heavier treasure!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Those ancient stone sculptures." The companion pointed at the church behind him, and there were some walls with angel sculptures and murals.

But when people came to search, they did not remove these sculptures.

"The sculptures of angels are carved on the walls! Such murals can protect the church from the erosion of evil forces! There are also some small parts of the walls that are deliberately recessed, and there are also small angel statues that are integrated with the walls!

No one took them away…it might be one with the wall, so it was difficult to remove.”

"You want to tear down the guardian statues in the church? It's one thing to collect things from abandoned religious buildings, but if you destroy the church, do you think the Holy Lord will forgive you?"

The other party shivered, as if he didn't dare to take this risk.

"Okay, then it shouldn't be too much for us to dig up the stone statue buried under the ground?"

The two of them comforted themselves, but even the stone statues abandoned by former clergy would not be buried under the ground.

"It's only noon now! Why don't we dig it out and see..."

The two of them immediately acted and took out the folding shovel from their bags, but then they understood how huge the stone statue buried under the ground was.

They started working at noon and rested fifteen minutes every two hours, but only dug out the upper body of the stone statue.

And now it is eight o'clock in the evening...

"This... this is not an angel... this is a sculpture of a demon! Although I don't quite understand why it was buried underground, a stone statue of a demon was buried deep, and the church must have their ideas.

Maybe we shouldn't continue digging, or bury it again?"

"It's all dug out! But this stone statue is so big. Is it really a sculpture of a demon?" Another man took out his smartphone and obtained the name of the stone statue in front of him through the intelligent object recognition function.

"This is not a sculpture of a demon..." He said according to the results on the phone, "This is a gargoyle."

"Gargoyle? The drip platypus in a church? No wonder it looks so familiar."

The drip platypus are usually gargoyles standing under the eaves of churches. Their earliest use is to drain the water function.

Whenever it rains, water columns that guide over will be sprayed out from the mouth of the stone statue.

At the same time, the church and the oriole have a different relationship.

First, the church uses drip prickly to spread their message to ordinary people.

Since many people were illiterate in the Middle Ages, images had very important significance.

The drip platypus was used to warn people that the end of the world was approaching and that they would go to church as much as possible.

In addition, they are used to ensure that evil is avoided outside the church.

However, ordinary gargoyles are the same size as adults.

The buried gargoyle in front of me is very large, looking the size of a small pickup truck.

"Gargoyle? So is he guarding something when he was buried here? I really can't continue to dig it out..."

When the other party finished speaking, the gargoyle's eyes suddenly lit up and released an orange-yellow light, like two focused tungsten wire lamps.

"I think... it's a little late now?"
